A recent study conducted by researchers at Penn State University found that in experimental animal models, certain molecular components contained in broccoli can help protect the small intestinal lining of animals, thereby preventing disease. effect.
Broccoli is rich in vitamins C, A, and K, and is rich in fiber and potassium. This green vegetable can also help lower blood pressure and is known to reduce the risk of cancer.
Gary Perdew of Penn State University, one of the study’s authors, said: “We all know broccoli is good for us, but why? When we eat broccoli, the body responds What changed?”
“We are studying how consumption of foods such as broccoli improves health in mice and, in turn, in humans. The study provides strong evidence that cruciferous vegetables such as broccoli, cabbage and sprouts Kale should be part of a normal healthy diet,” Perdue said.
According to the research team’s article published in the journal Laboratory Investigation, broccoli contains molecular components called aryl hydroxylase ligands (aryl hydrocarbon receptor ligands), which are associated with The receptors in the mouse bind, thereby initiating a variety of active mechanisms that inhibit the occurrence of the disease.
In the study, one group of mice received 15 percent broccoli in their daily diet, which is equivalent to regarding three and a half cups per day in humans, and a control group of mice received no broccoli in their daily diet.
Tissue from both groups of mice was analyzed for factors such as binding activity, the number of various cell types and the concentration of mucus.
It was found that the guts of mice not fed broccoli had less protective mucus, less Paneth cells and lysosomes, and fewer intestinal epithelial cells. The intestinal epithelium normally covers the gut wall, and its function is to keep food and bacteria out of the body while allowing beneficial water and nutrients to pass through.
“Gut health in mice not fed broccoli was adversely affected in multiple ways related to the disease,” Perdue said. “Our study suggests that broccoli and other foods can serve as a source of natural ligands.” , a diet rich in these ligands is beneficial in maintaining the elasticity of the small intestine.”
These findings suggest that simple dietary adjustments can alter “the cells and metabolism of the gastrointestinal tract.”
Broccoli is good for thrombolysis
An earlier Australian study found that broccoli may even help reduce the risk of stroke or reverse it.
The Sydney Heart Research Institute (HRI) found that isothiocyanates, a class of chemicals found in cruciferous vegetables such as broccoli, Brussels sprouts, cauliflower, bok choy and bok choy, can reduce blood clot formation, Blood clot formation is the most common cause of stroke.
Sweet and savory broccoli is America’s favorite vegetable, according to a Green Giant survey of nearly 7,000 Americans.
Thirty-six of the 50 U.S. states, plus Washington, D.C., named broccoli their favorite vegetable. ◇
